Good work from Didac Vila on the left set up Iglesias for the first goal shortly before half-time, and he tucked home the second one after Moi Gomez gave the ball away to secure his team's win.
Mario Hermoso hit the bar late on with a free-kick but it didn't matter as Rubi's side made their mark again and scored their first away win of the season against Huesca, who have a new coach in Francisco.
